DEVICE FOR HOLDING OR SUPPORTING FABRICS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 6, 1916.

Application filed August 20, 1913. Serial No. 785,774.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OTTO SCHEIB, of Barmen, Schwarzbachstrasse 22, Rhenish Prussia, Germany, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, have invented new and useful Improvements in Devices for Holding or Supporting Fabrics, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has for its object a board for packing or storing up textile fabric such as ribbons, cords, braids, trimmings and the like and it consists of a grille like piece of card board or other suitable material on which the fabric is coiled or wound in progressive length each section of the board receiving thus a certain quantity of fabric and being cut ofi from the board forms a parcel ready for selling.

My invention is fully shown on the accompanying drawing in which the figure illustrates a side elevation of a supporting board constructed in accordance with my invention.

Referring to the figure, my invention consists of a plurality of strips of material 0 held in such relation with each other as to provide a space 6, the utility of which is to be hereinafter more fully described. The independent strips 0 are connected at their ends by a flexible strip of material 9, this material may be cloth, leather or similar material, having flexible vqualities, and it will be noted that the material 9 forming the binding member is folded in such a way that the side portions thereof will overlay a portion of the respective strips and grasp the same. After the flexible material is positioned over the ends of the strips, the same is stitched to the boards by longitudinal and transverse stitchings b and 6 It is obvious that by this structure, I provide a supporting card that will have a certain amount of flexibility and will provide a supporting card, whereby the independent strips forming the body portion thereof may be folded one upon the other in order that a small package may be provided for storing purposes.

In the use of the supporting card, material to be supported by the card is wound upon the independent strips" longitudinally thereof and a clip comprising a sheet or strip of paper having its edges inserted Within the spaces 6, between the strips for preventing the material supported by one strip from moving on to the adjacent strip.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is In a device of the character described, a-

the first mentioned strips of material for holding the same in spaced relation with each other, and means for attaching the strips of flexible material to the first mentioned strips, whereby one of the said strips of material may be detached from the remaining strips for detaching 'a predetermined quantity of material from the board.
